Yes, yes. Diets are mean. But I have to tell you that I'm not sure Weight Watchers is the answer either. When all you think about is food, what kind of food you can eat, are eating, or will eat, you are bound to fuck up. That's why WW never worked for me. It was never even close to enough food for me, and I became obsessed with food even more than I already was, and I would over-eat. Weight Watchers WAS a diet for me. A sad, miserable excuse for a diet in which I paid $11 a week for the pleasure of being weighed in a dusty church basement while my stomach growled.
a dusty church basement? for real? I thought weight watchers had little establishments like curves or something...man, dusty church basement AND you have to pay? that's pretty ghetto.

WW is the only thing that has worked for me in the last 10 years besides a bad breakup.
I can honestly say that I am not physically hungry following their Points system ... but emotionally hungry? Almost always. It's a battle, and I know it always will be. If I need to, I can feed my emotional hunger by using the 35 extra points I get per week or by exercising so I can eat a little more.
I really do need to figure out how to deal with emotional eating, I know.

As much as I love WW, I fully understand that it's just going to work for everyone. I'm glad you found something that works for you.
Our meeting yesterday was all about emotional eating, and it was really good to have the support network of people who could totally understand both the stress that would trigger my bad eating and the temptations abound (I have an at-work WW group, so we all face the same vending machines and meeting food).
